Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk together marinade ingredients; olive oil, cumin, brown sugar, lime juice/zest, cilantro, and chili powder (if you are using it)

2. Place peeled and deveined shrimp in a bowl and pour marinade over shrimp. Place in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes

3. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat; add shrimp, pouring in two tablespoons of the marinade as well

4. Saute shrimp for 3 minutes, turning as they cook. Shrimp will turn firmer and light pink in color
